Riolu evolves at level 30 while G. Farfetch'd evolves with the move Swords Dance. Anyway, this game reminds me of a particularly infamous boss fight in Final Fantasy X. I won't spoil too much, but the fight's late in the game and it's preceded by a lengthy, unskippable cutscene. While the fight...

I've been having a pretty good time with the game so far, but I've run into a problem with Galarian Yamask. The documentation suggests it evolves after taking 49 damage, but I got mine to withstand more than that and it didn't evolve. Does the damage need to be exactly 49 or am I missing a step?

For the record, I don't believe games shouldn't be allowed to be hard. Players should be able to tackle any difficulty they want, aiming for the sky if they feel like it. My problem is I have a low frustration tolerance threshold, so I'm prone to losing my temper when struggling too much. I even...

There's a lot to take in, so I'll start with a list: Final Fantasy 5 is renowned for its high difficulty ceiling and open-ended approach to party makeup. There are many tough boss fights, with a handful considered the hardest in the series. However, with the right combination of skills and...

First off, I have to plead ignorance on rom hacks and their difficulty tuning, as I focus more on fan games that aren't rom hacks, so maybe the hacks have more granular challenge settings. With that said, my problem isn't with level caps themselves, but I always see them coupled with other "make...

Every time I come here, whenever I see a fan game I might be interested in trying, half the time it espouses level caps. For the record, I don't mean limiting levels to 100 at end/postgame, but much lower limits all over. The official games historically used soft caps so traded Pokemon ignore...

I've played some more games, not all of which I enjoyed. However, these didn't have a single major quit moment, but several small moments that might have been tolerable enough on their own but join forces to upset me into giving up on them. - Oddly enough, Pokemon Realidea System fell apart in...

As irritating as getting attacked every four steps got in the old games, I found how Shield handled encounters much more annoying. I can't count the number of unwanted battles I got stuck in because a small Pokemon spawned five feet in front of me that I couldn't see due to it being hidden...

That's perfectly valid, but the game doesn't really hold to that point for two reasons: 1. You're free to catch and battle with any Pokemon you find for outside events; only gym battles must adhere to a specialty. So you can catch most of them, just not all of them. 2. The starter restrictions...

I've recently finished the main plot up to the end credits. Overall I enjoyed my time with the game, but I still have some significant misgivings. 1. The opening hours were incredibly slow. Part of that likely comes from my having picked dragons, but any type chosen requires wandering through...

Personally, I thought the mainline Switch entries were fine enough; Red/Blue had plenty of bugs, and Ruby/Sapphire made importing old Pokemon impossible long before Sword/Shield did any such thing. I think the problem started at the transition from purely portable consoles to the big boy TV...

I played up to the fifth gym's town before giving up, but I think that's enough to offer my impressions. First, good things: + I liked the added mechanics, as they gave me incentives to fight wild Pokemon or harvest crops when I otherwise wouldn't. + The regional forms original to this game...

I've tried a few fan games, and I've finished fewer. I can think of three examples, and the reasons I quit playing them are all different. 1. Pokemon Abstract put me off with poor optimization. The path I chose to start the game goes through a snowy area, so there's a constant hailstorm there...

I've been running around the Safari Zone, but I've been struggling to find Carnivine, let alone catch one. I imagine stockpiling honey could help get around the step limit, but if there's a better way to seek out specific safari Pokemon, I'd love to hear it. EDIT 1: Almost a hundred honeys did...

I've also been getting stuck in tunnel doors, specifically the ones that go south. After the screen transition, I'm right on top of the north exit door unable to move. I can get out with an escape rope, but this is a major problem without the rope.
